Ricky Schroder net worth: Former child star's fortune explored amidst recent mask mandate controversy 

American actor Ricky Schroder had a public meltdown videographed after he was being asked to wear a mask amidst the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

The MAGA affiliate shared a video of the incident on his Instagram account, which showed him getting irate with security guards at Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library and Museum in Abilene, Kansas. While en route to Washington D.C., Schroder stopped there to join the purported "freedom convoy" of truck drivers protesting vaccine and mask mandates across the country.

On March 6, Patriot Takes took to their Twitter handle and shared a video showing guards at the museum asking him to wear a mask.

Schroder called the federal government "evil," to which the guard replied, "that's your opinion." The statement seemed to trigger the 51-year-old who then said:

"God’s laws are higher than the federal government’s, but you’re going to enforce man’s laws?"

After a brief argument, Ricky Schroder called the security guards "Nazis" and said they didn't know God.

Some social media users poked fun at Schroder, who has further veered into a right-wing political stance within the past few years. In May 2021, he scolded an employee at a Costco branch in Los Angeles, California after he was refused entry due to state rules, as well as the company's requirements for wearing face masks.
